"This year we received a record number of nominations from British brands at the forefront of innovation, craftmanship, hospitality, design and sustainability, who positively contribute to the evolving economic and cultural impact of British luxury globally," said Helen Brocklebank, Walpole Chief Executive. "Not only do this year’s winners stand out for their exceptional products and services, but they are notable for their investment in the UK, local economies, employment, arts, and culture which is exactly what this country needs from business right now.
"My congratulations to tonight’s winners and thanks to all our sponsors and partners without whom this evening wouldn’t have been possible.”

This year’s awards trophies were designed by paper artist Helen Musselwhite. The beautiful domes are her artistic interpretation of the Walpole Book of British Luxury 2022 cover, designed by Walpole’s visual partner Cole & Son, which also created the backdrop for the awards ceremony.
The main table gift, a leather passport holder, was provided by Ettinger with additional gifts by JING, Miller Harris and Ruuby.
The black tie event began with a Laurent-Perrier champagne reception, followed by a three-course dinner featuring Hafod cheddar soufflé, Norfolk Black Angus Beef Wellington, and a dessert of roasted apricot tart, accompanied by Berry Bros & Rudd wine and JING sparking tea. The night was capped off with an after-party hosted by Royal Salute which created a signature Mayfair & Salute cocktail and Beefeater Crown Jewel Gibson highballs were enjoyed.
Music for the evening was provided by the exceptional Maia (courtesy of the DJAAYZ, the 1st DJ booking app) and BEAT (courtesy of ALR Music).
